Brock Lesnar has not lost his Heavyweight title in a fight. Shane Carwin holds the interim Heavyweight belt after Lesnar left MMA. On July 3rd, 2010 one fighter will lose their belt.

Brock Lesnar is 4-1 in his MMA career. His single loss came at the hands of Frank Mir in his UFC debut at UFC 81. Lesnar avenged the loss to Mir by defending his Heavyweight title against Mir in UFC 100 on July 11th, 2009. That was Lesnar’s last fight.

Shane Carwin has a perfect 12-0 MMA record. His last fight was a first round knockout of Frank Mir, in a fight that would give the winner the interim Heavyweight title after Brock Lesnar walked away.

Also Wanderlei Silva and Yoshihiro Akiyama are official for a co-headlining the 185-pound middleweight bout at UFC 116. Silva, a former Pride Fighting Championships star, will take on the ethnic Korean fighter in a bout that will draw added interest from Japanese MMA fans.

Silva (33-10-1) made his anticipated middleweight debut at UFC 110, earning a unanimous decision over Michael Bisping to snap a two-fight losing streak, which had dropped him to 1-5 over his last 6 fights.

Akiyama (13-1), a veteran of K-1 Hero’s and DREAM in his native Japan, made his UFC debut last July with a split decision over Alan Belcher at UFC 100 for his eleventh-straight win (plus two no contests). Bet UFC 116 Today
